Malaysia targets ex-MAS Tajuddin for corruption

A New investigation is being launched into Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) ex-chairman Tan Sri Tajuddin Ramli, over allegations of cargo corruption.
Tan Sri Dr Hadenan Abdul Jalil of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC), said: "In view of new evidence surfacing, investigations are under process."
He denied that MACC had "swept the matter under the carper" and confirmed new witness had come forward.
MACC has been trying to successfully prosecute the well-protected Tajuddin ever since MAS reported him to the MACC in 2005. MAS claims he, former MASkargo vice-president Ralph Manfred Gotz, ex-MAS consultant Uwe Juergen Beck and ex-director Wan Aishah Wan Hamid, had been involved i management and financial irregularities costing the company millions of dollars, notably at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport.
MAS lodged a police report against Tajuddin, chairman for seven years, in 2002 for allegedly causing the national carrier to suffer losses in excess of RM8billion(US$2.6 billion).
Part of this was due to the new cargo hub in Hahn, Germany, with losses of RM10-16 million a month.
